Re: May 2012 Chemistry unit 2 Grade boundary (POLL)Well honestly speaking I found this year's chem papers quite doable. If you knew your notes it was very possible to do at least 60% of it with ease. There are some past papers that had me almost in tears lol. I was so freaking out for this exam, but it wasn't so bad so I have to say that an A would most probably be in the 61-65 zone.

Re: May 2012 Chemistry unit 2 Grade boundary (POLL)lets see, but majority of people say it was easy. Hence the grade boundaries may rise aswell or stay moderate.(Original post by jerichi)

Re: May 2012 Chemistry unit 2 Grade boundary (POLL)Markscheme seems a bit 'iffy' in places tbh, with some of the answers people on TSR haven't even said! Think the boundary will be low 60's.(Original post by UserInvalid)

Re: May 2012 Chemistry unit 2 Grade boundary (POLL)I have to agree on this bit. I believe they made it harsh on purposely since some found it easy(Original post by EffKayy)

Grade boundaries were just stupid this year. In one past year, my raw mark would have been 120/120 UMS. This year 102 (Unit 1 btw). I swear there is no correlation between difficulty and grade boundaries... -

Thanks for letting me know.
Edexcel board is just unpredicatable. I just got this fact straight in.
